Prentverkoper versiert een vrouw 1801

"Prentverkoper versiert een vrouw" (1801) by Franciscus Sansom, depicts a satirical scene of a print seller attempting to woo a woman. This hand-colored etching, now at the Rijksmuseum, is part of a series titled "Symptoms of the Shop." Sansom uses exaggerated features and poses to create a humorous commentary on social interactions and the art of persuasion. The image is a charming example of satirical printmaking popular in the late 18th century, capturing the playful spirit of the time.
